ire another victory.

THE statement made that the Tn Aux of foreigners to this country during the coming year, is likely to surpass that of the four years last past combined, has awakened a new interest in the matter of foreign nm migration. No one denies that the great majority of the immigrants that have settled in America have become good citizens and been a blessing and credit to the country of their adoption. In all the discuss ion we have seen thls important fact has not for moment been lost sight of, nor is there any attempt to dis courage the coming of honest, indus trious, intelligent and decent immi- grants. But the constant inflow of socialists, anarchists, paupers and dead beats must in some measure be stopped. That there must be some regulation in regard to immigration and some reforms in the matter of bestowing the elective franschise on foreigners who come to this country, must be apparent to every thinking man. And force of necessity will hasten some changes in these direc- tions very speedily.

 May l9, 1887. MR. L. M. sMITu,-Dear Friend:
 We have been here since the goth of April, but have been busy riding around viewing the country, and have neglected writing as many let ters as we might am not much disappointed in the country for had learned as much of it before we came as it was possible to learn without seeing it. The wewther is cooler than I expected to find 1t but am told that this is remarkably dry and cold year. There have been frosts in various parts of the state since the first of May and grapes are injured north of the Francisco. As to health no part of the world I have seen can compare with thls country; l havn't seen quinine bottle, "storm hole" nor lightning rod yet. There is no need for the last two, fo. there are no cyclones, nor lightning to hurt. do not suppose there IS one of either in the state. The soil is as good as the climate, but admit that "soil and climate" would be but poor living without other ingredients. I will say this much however, that if family has home with comfortable houses on a tract of land-little or big, that family IS independent. Here the principal crop IS wheat, tho barley, oats and little corn are grown. Or. chards have just been started and it is not known how they will with stand the long rainless seasons be lore the trees get deep root A large portion of North California as well as many favored portions of South California are devoted to various kinds of fruit. Peaches, apples, plums, (many kinds) cherries, al monds, blackberrles, strawberries. etc. etc, are raised by millions. Lands near the Pacific coast need but little ram and no irrigation. Fogs and the cool sea breeze supply the needed moisture generally. tho they suffer occasionally, a little. Last week took a ride up to Healds. burg 70 miles north of Frisco, and will say, do not think Gods sun ever shone on a more beautiful coun- try than that 100 miles both north and south of that splendid city. | Much of the country north of the city has been divided into small | farms or vineyards and orchards. and many of the roads appear like streets, and the mikman's and butch CTS carts come and go regularly. There are numerous dairy farms all around the city where great many cows are milked. The butter is of fine quality too. Vegetables are plenty, and flowers by the million. |

THE republican organs are mak ing great noise over the presidents $ order consolidating number of rev. enue offices. As it IS democratic of fcials that lose thelr places by this change, one is led to wonder what these organs would have said had tnO changes been made before the republican officials were succeeded by democrats. The great trouble with these organs seems to be that it pains them to see good offices go- Ing to waste. The Idea under re publican rule was to make as many offices as possible instead of consoli dating any of them to save expense to the people.

Arkansas Swamp Lands.

Gazette: We publish today an i'm portant letter from Secretary Lamar bearing on the claims of the state on the swamp lands and the efforts made by our legislature to secure a settle ment. As the secretary's letter. written after the matter had been pressed on his attention by Senator James K. Jones shows, the position of the Interior Department is as fol- lows: The field notes when they show either that the land is or is not within the act granting them to the state, shall be accepted as conclu. sive unless either party undertakes to show that those field notes were erroneous, that right being open to < either party. When the field notes are uncertain on this point the state shall have the right to show by satisfactory proof the nature of the land. The department holds, how ever, that the action of the Arkan- sas legislature prevents the governor from making any contract except in compliance with the terms of the act, and these the department will not accept. So the matter stands at present, and settlement is thus de- layed.
 Doubtless it would have been bet ter had the legislature by enactment given the governor authority tA make the best contract obtainable, to secure a final settlement. It ap. pears to be case where discretion. 7, ary power is necessary to reach practical result.

WHEN Louis Nestor was ell.

WHEN Louis Nestor was elected Mayor of Marquette, Michigan, he gave notice that all must pay taxes on every dollar, claiming that mll- lion of dollars of property had not been taxed. Carrying out this plan and being fully supported by the board of equalization, the assess ment on $2,o00,000 of property has been raised. There IS good deal of squirming, but more praises than curses are heard from tax payers. Mayor Nester's example is worthy of imitation elsewhere.

EVERY indication points to the nomination of MT. Cleveland by the democrats and John Sherman by the republicans next year. The issue of that campaign will be mainly the tariff and honesty and reform In gov ernment. The democracy has al ready made a splendid record in the reform part, and has planted consld erable honesty where extravaganza and profigacy formerly held sway. But what has It done about the tar if? Promises that the tariff shall be reformed and corrected have won one victory for the democratic party. Fulfillment of pledges is needed to secure another victory.

correspondence Of the Democrat,
 APPLETON, May 27---As your reg
 ular correspondent Of thIs place has
 been busily engaged lately and has given you nothing from this place,
 we offer few items:
 Dr. Kirkscey and Judge Bullock,
 of Dover, were in our city last Mon day on official business.
 Miss Ellen Garrigus, Of Cagles vile, and Miss Ella Lemly of Dover,
 were guests at the marriage feast
 this week
 Everybody are in fine spirits, ow- ing to good weather and growing crops.
 Misses Viola Bruton and Dora
 Montgomery and "Homer" Bruton, accompanied by Miss ..Kit Ford
 and Mr. H. c. Bledsoe, of Atkins,
 attended the marriage ceremonies of Mir. w. F. Montgomery, who was married to Miss Mary Ashmore, of Little Rock, at the home of the bride, at p. m., Wednesday, Rev. J. A Conley, of Old Hickory, ofiici
 ating. They spent the following day at the home of the bride and return ed to Atkins Friday where they had warm reception and an elegant dinner given by MT. and Mrs. l.. T.
 Ford, assisted by Mrs. Fannie Bost. They arrived at Appleton, their flu
 ture home, at ' p. m. the same day. After a continuation of hand shak
 ing with their many friends who had assembled to meet them with con gratulations, they were ushered into the parlor of Mir. and Mrs. F. D. K. Montgomery, the groom's parents, and after short "chat" supper was announced. There were about one hundred and fifty participants in the supper, Rev. J. w. Bruton, chaplain of the occasion, and we are fully sat isfied that it was met with "beyond expectations" from the amount of eatables consumed. The supper was an excellent one, and long to be re- membered by the writer. After sup per was over a crowd. of youngsters had gathered in the front yard for the purpose of picking the turkey legs out of their tombstones. Hark some one said. Me thinks I hear something like a violin. In a mo- ment distinct sound was conveyed to our ear by the clear and open ar. In few moments Messrs. "Bob'' Brady, "Dolph" Reynolds and Price Reynolds, appeared, and after play ing several airs were invited to sup. per. The "boys' evidently had a "fat take," and no doubt handed the grub" down to themselves in an eager style. They were encored by a great number, hence, they resumed playing, but in more cheerful ati tude. The night until 12 o'clock was spent in music made by various parties, on the organ, guitar and violin. Most of the music was good. | One song, which we particularly ad mired IS "Nobody's Darling on Earth" This was vocalized by a trio of excellent singers, Misses Vi, ola Bruton and Dora Montgomery and Mrs. Mary Montgomery, Jr. This occasion is memorable one in the minds of the Appleton people, and to the writer. We think others will fall in line in the near future, but, in the language of Davie Crock cit, "be sure you are right, then go ahead" We heartily congratulate Mir. and Mrs. Willie Montgomery upon their marriage and extend to them the right 1" of fellowship. May happiness and prosperity be their lot now and forever. Amen.
 Success to the DEMOCRAT and it's readers. WALTER.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM,

which presaged the coming of Christ, and as truly as I believe that God reigns and orders all things for good do believe that this morning star of democracy, which has returned to it's meridian and shines once more above the White House at Washing ton presages the final triumph of freedom and the reign forever and aye of the peoples simple majesty.
 Prolonged applause. It IS because 1 believe this that 1 am unwilling to yield one inch of the peoples ground to the encroachments of inovation, and hold these innovations more dangerous when they come clad in the raiment and flying the flag of spurious democracy. Cheers. I had rather meet fifty enemies on the open plain in honest fight than one single enemy disguised as friend. I Applause.
